Runs round in circles and has no passing range. Built for the rags.

we've got previous :D100 mil for a bench player.sure
Agreed but he would cost well north of 100m, not going to happen for basically a backup/option for Rodri.Games like today are why we need Rice.We can't drop Rodri and expect anyone else to offer anything close.
We need to replace Fern.We don’t need him
More like we need a backup to Rodri but yes. The problem is the cost which is why I think it will be someone less known than Rice.We need to replace Fern.

Less known but didn't fit the team why bother, if the club thinks Rice is worth it and pep thinks he fit the team he will be transfer target for the club regardless fans opinion about the price tag.
Grealish is already set precedent, they will acquire the player that club and manager wants. It will cost a lot yes, but we have competent board that calculate the risk if the signing is worth 100m for him and just like grealish they will sign him regardless the price if they think it's worth for the player like him.
But again, it alot also depends if Rice is willing to move to Manchester. He seems Chelsea bound and it's very unlikely we will get him.

He could very easily play alongside Rodri.While similar,they are also different and talented enough to compliment each other - we haven't had a lung bursting midfielder since Yaya.Agreed but he would cost well north of 100m, not going to happen for basically a backup/option for Rodri.
I have no problem with the fee, nor paying it for the right player, and our board run the business brilliantly. The question is more about who. It could well be that there is a recognition that Gundogan and DeBrunye, as well as Fern, are coming to the end, within the next couple of years. In that context, they may have a different perspective as that kind of player is not apparent in the EDS, other than Lavia, as Doyle doesn't seem to have developed as much as we may have hoped and Matt Smith is not at that level.Less known but didn't fit the team why bother, if the club thinks Rice is worth it and pep thinks he fit the team he will be transfer target for the club regardless fans opinion about the price tag.

He could but not at 100m plus and with Haaland looking like arriving and a LB neededHe could very easily play alongside Rodri.While similar,they are also different and talented enough to compliment each other - we haven't had a lung bursting midfielder since Yaya.

We are fine at LB,especially now Esbrand has decided to stay.He could but not at 100m plus and with Haaland looking like arriving and a LB needed
Maybe a couple of outgoings will pave the path.
I still think we will go in for a LB this summer, time will tell.We are fine at LB,especially now Esbrand has decided to stay.

We’ve got the best left back in the league and good cover with Zinky.I still think we will go in for a LB this summer, time will tell.
Think Lavia can do a job for us! We will see if he gets loaned out it seems to mean now that that player will move on though.
Be interesting come pre season how Doyle will do maybe the loan would smartened him up and matured him a bit.

It’s the only option we have can’t bring anyone in now!
Now for next season will we see not sure we will bring in someone to back up Rodri and why I believe Lavia will do a job.
Bissoma has always impressed me and a cheaper option than Rice who as others have said is Chelsea bound imo.More like we need a backup to Rodri but yes. The problem is the cost which is why I think it will be someone less known than Rice.
Exactly. Dinho is now a back up to Rodri. Rice won’t come and we won’t pay that money to be a back up playerMore like we need a backup to Rodri but yes. The problem is the cost which is why I think it will be someone less known than Rice.
